Mega update – New Model and More!

Leave a reply

New 2026 Clearance Model! We thrilled to have our new 2026 clearance model live on production.

Setting the benchmark for clearance depth and clarity, you will see improved matching and prioritization of semantic meaning, spelling variations, abbreviations, translations, and more. You’ll get clear results that you can act on quickly, risk indicators, and more responsive watch results.

You also get powerful new filter options to help you slice and dice results to best focus on your key objectives, and industry breakouts of visualizations to help you better segment searches that cover multiple product areas.

Mark Neural Criteria.  Simplify and improve custom criteria in field-based searches and watches with one mark field that leverages model-based similarity.

Domain Names. 300+ million records, all enabled for clearance, search, and watch. 

Pharmaceuticals and Substances.  Our house-mix dataset brings together pharmaceuticals, biologics, natural products, vitamins and dietary supplements, food and cosmetic ingredients, homeopathic substances, and pharmacopoeia references from dozens of sources. Reports include POCA scoring and nomenclature stems. Enabled for clearance, search, and watch.

Demand Letter Drafting.  Building on the 2(d) Response Drafting tool, the new Demand Letter Drafting tool helps you quickly move from identifying a relevant result to generating a quality draft demand letter.

Design Common Law Returns.  After a hiatus following Microsoft’s end-of-life of the Bing Search APIs, we’ve integrated Google Vision with similar capabilities.

Multi-Factor Authentication.  Use your favorite authenticator app for an extra layer of protection for your account.  SAML Single Sign-On is available as well for firms with an identity provider.

In Case You Missed It.  If you haven’t taken full advantage of other recent enhancements, they include:

  • Drag and drop design search;
  • Automated deadline tracking and bulk watch setup using Portfolios;
  • Enhanced jurisdictional coverage (US State, Puerto Rico, Europe);
  • 2(d) response drafting, with an evidentiary focus that lets you make more persuasive arguments while saving hours of research.

New Image Search in TM TKO!

We are excited to announce our new, machine-learning-driven image clearance tool. Just log in and go here to try it — we’d love to hear from you about your experiences. As with all of TM TKO’s tools, access is included in any subscription or day pass.

The new system is simple. Just drop in an image; you’ll be able to crop it if needed. If you want to add US and/or Vienna design codes (particularly helpful if you have a “busy” image with a lot of visual elements, but you are most interested in one feature in particular), you can do so. Hit search, and you’ll be off.

We replicated a search for a recent application for an acorn logo for insurance services here, so you can see it in action. The first two results are the filed-for mark and a co-pending application with the same owner. So far, so good. Another acorn design that was cited by the Examiner was the #4 result, with another, similar acorn in between.

As with TM TKO’s other clearance tools, your search report includes helpful visualizations of mark and goods similarity, helping you quickly triage risks and get an answer to your client both quickly and accurately.

If you choose to include common-law results, you will get an additional section of image results sourced from Bing.

We have been working on this for quite a while, and are very happy to have this out in the world for you to use! Watches and portfolio-driven watches will be available soon.

Happy searching!
